the funding gap to meet infrastructure needs
There is a common opportunity to revolutionize infrastructure development and delivery on a global scale and make a positive impact on communities. BCG can help private and public sector infrastructure owners and their engineering and construction industry partners bring programs in on time and at cost while meeting new demands and operating more efficiently.
Our Approach to Infrastructure Industry Work
BCG’s deep experience and expertise make it the infrastructure consultant of choice for infrastructure industry leaders and C-suite executives pursuing major initiatives and projects worldwide. That includes top officials at development finance institutions and private investment firms, heads of toll road operators, and construction and engineering services companies.
Our infrastructure consulting expertise extends to:
Large Capital Project Management
We help private and public sector infrastructure owners as well as construction and engineering services firms with complex programs and projects that start from a cost of $1 billion, providing targeted infrastructure consulting services that meet desired business or social outcomes. Examples of successful
large capital projects and infrastructure engagements could be a city-wide public transportation system that provides adequate coverage for businesses and dense residential districts, or a major
real estate development that fulfills expectations for high-quality delivery.
Sustainable Infrastructure Development
Public and private sector infrastructure leaders are grappling with demands to address climate concerns, including optimizing value chains, altering building methods, and minimizing carbon emissions in maintenance operations. They also must ensure that infrastructure projects are resilient and consider
nature-based solutions in the face of changing weather conditions. BCG’s infrastructure consultants define a vision, a strategy, and action plans to deliver
climate-resilient infrastructure.
Digital Operations
BCG helps private and public sector clients implement digital systems and smart infrastructure networks. We assist clients in incorporating
digital twins and other processes into operations and maintenance to make
operations more efficient. The same updates can also help improve services for constituents—for example, by powering apps with real-time information on road conditions that could help drivers choose the best way to get to where they’re going during winter weather.
Organization and Operating Models
We help infrastructure authorities and other public sector agencies establish or transform infrastructure strategy, business models, and capabilities that focus on priority business and social outcomes. BCG’s team of infrastructure consulting specialists works shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to adopt leaner structures and new, more
agile ways of working that lead to a more business-centric organization.
